If you're talking about ranking, yes, it's pretty misleading.

However, the ranking system has the stats for tele-op points, hybrid points, bridge points, and cooperition points. I wouldn't call that part misleading.

Until you figure out that all those points are scored by the alliance.

If I'm a Boxbot and I'm paired with two robots of the caliber of 1114 and 254 every single match, I'm going to look a lot better in the standings than my Boxbot really is.
